What Drives Us
We identified a problem which lies in the healthcare system in Ghana that is rarely trained to use food as medicine. We give names to diseases and treat them with pharmaceuticals using standard treatment guidelines. Most health care providers often leave food out of the equation forgetting that the food we eat mediates with our hormones, speaks to our cells and makes us who we are hence the popular adage “We are what we eat’.
This lifelong passion started when my grandmother was put on ulcer drugs for several years only to find out she had no ulcer but these drugs had already caused her liver to be enlarged(hepatomegaly) which later led to a congestive heart failure. She died early 2022 from an end stage heart failure secondary to excessive drug intake.

Sustainable Development Goal 2

About 2 billion people in the world do not have regular access to safe, nutritious and sufficient food. More than 690 million people were undernourished in 2019 mainly in Asia and Africa.
